This game is going to be another walking sim

[wakeupmarkey]

Amnesia series were always boring walking simulators, I think this one is going to be a walking simulator as well. There were always some non scary "monsters" in this game and you can not even kill them like what ?
This game should be like Dead Island (one of the greatest horror games of all time) that game was real scary, crazy weapons not just running away from monsters. Graphics is also outdated in my opinion.
If im honest the worst thing in this series were always puzzles, I don't have a whole day to solve complex puzzles why horror games should have puzzles in it which no one likes? Puzzles are the worst thing in every game.

I think it's going to be a sprinting sim.

If enemies could be killed, the game would be less scary. The devs realised this while working on Penumbra. In first Penumbra you have weapon and can use it to kill enemies, but in the second you can no longer do that and that makes the sequel better.

You can kill enemies in Dead Space, does that make the game less scary?

Yes. I never found Dead Space particularly scary.

dead island wasnt scary at all and amnesia the dark descent made my heart feel nervous when im forced to use stealth

Do you people ever shut the ♥♥♥♥ up?

[Overture]

dead island is an absolute snoozefest no way you said it was one of scariest games of all time

Survival horror kind of set itself in a corner with how the game play manages tension. Depending on how the camera sits, and if the character get's planted in place when you shoot or not. The old strats of waiting for a zombie to lunge and run around it etc etc.

But in Amnesia's case using your resources to advance the story or run and hide, and now with the Bunker unload a few shots into the beast, ala Xenomorph Alien Isolation. Having a singular (presumably) enemy to contend with is tricky, as eventually you know what you're dealing with, does the horror diminish?

But horror is such a broad spectrum, some people will scare easier than others, some won't. Hopefully, Frictional Games will craft a horror experience that is immersive, has an interesting story, and from a game play perspective, how they handle the player's progression as they progress further into the bunker. Does the game play loop stale out as we dive further in?

Really? I thought it was going to be a hide n' seek sim.

in his head he opens a steam discussion to talk like a hater (I don't have a whole day to solve complex puzzles loool

[Loudness]

Complaining about adventure games having puzzles is like complaining about Dark Souls having combat. If you don't like puzzles just go play Outlast.

i sorry but Dead Island is a terrible example to compare with the amnesia series.
dead island ia a action cop op game focused on illing as much monsters you can, the game may be fun buttheres absolut nothing scary in that game.
i agree that not be able to defend yourself is starting to get old, but giving rocket launcher to the player is not the solution.
this new amnesia game is already making changes giving the player a little gun so he can temporarily stop the monster but still having to run and hide.

If you wanna shoot monsters you better play Trepang² when its come out

[EssBeeIDK]

So basically, don't buy this game. You actually just said that Dead Island is one of the best "horror" games of all time. Shut the ♥♥♥♥ up, you aren't a horror fan, so go away.

Walking simulator? If I would not have to solve puzzles while hunted by a monster, well, maybe then it would be a walking simulator. But if you played Amnesia TDD or Penumbra series, it is not just about walking, but also about thinking, searching for items, hiding etc. Walking simulator for me is a different kind of game, just with looking around and doing nothing more, where your character can´t die, more Dear Esther e.g. kind of game.
